Edmonton get ready for the weekend and a Friday night that will blow your socks off. The last Homegrown Friday night of every month, Mercer Tavern brings you some of the hottest local DJs. This Friday night is no exception as we will feature one of the biggest names in our City, Dusty Grooves alongside your Friday night residents Polyesterday and yours truly. We will be dropping science with top shelf 80s and 90s jams along side the freshest Indie cuts and mind melting mashups. This is the night of the week to get your motor running. Music starts at 9pm until close.

With nearly fifty food trucks ready to serve the Edmonton area this summer, without a doubt this will be the biggest year in the city’s food truck scene thus far. And to kick things off, we are happy to share the date of our first event of the 2014 season!

Save the date for What the Truck?! taking place on 104 Street downtown after the City Market on May 24.
